Passion, vision, and connections definitely stand out in Leduc County. Leduc County is one of the 20 partner communities of ACE. Within the County, the support from ACE is directed to Warburg, New Sarepta, and Thorsby. During some recent community meetings, called Conversation Cafe, the residents focused on the community's strengths, assets, needs, priorities, and how to get there.
When residents began to list strengths and assets it was amazing that there is so much available in the County and the smaller rural communities. The passion for volunteerism and making the communities stronger and vibrant shone through. During the Conversation Cafe's residents were making meaningful connections with one another. People were exchanging phone numbers and recognizing others in the community in order to share resources and ideas. What was equally important was that the priorities were driven by the community. This means that whatever may unfold will have great community pride and ownership.
